when x = 3 ; y = 2
[tex]\bold\blue{✯\:\:\:2x + y}[/tex]
substitue x = 3 and y = 2 in the given equation !
[tex]\bold{2(3) + 2 = 6 + 2 } \\ \bold{ = > 8}[/tex]
We've to divide 328 in the ratio of 1 : 3
let the respective distribution be x and 3x.
Then ,
[tex]\bold{x + 3x = 328} \\\bold{ 4x = 328 }\\ \bold{x = \cancel\frac{328}{4} } \\ \\ \bold{x = 82}[/tex]
the respective shares are :
x = $82
3x = $246
6 pens cost $90
therefore ,
cost of 1 pen =
[tex]\cancel \frac{90}{6} = 15 \\ [/tex]
further ,
cost of 9 such pens = $15 × 9 = $135
0.5 of a pound = 113.398 grams
